My 1 year old got kicked out because I pay cash for childcare. They had to make room for governement funded childcare babies because "they get their money even if the child does not show up". So, if you are not on action for children, avoid this place at all costs. They will take your registration fees and boot you out a few months later for this. The administrator has refused to call me to discuss this as well, she hides and does not come out of the office. These practices make me question the entire integrity of the business. Money is the passion here, not children. I also wonder what happened that they had to rebrand from "Small world" to now "Children's world". This place is not worth the headaches and discriminatory practices.
Megan DeardenJul 24, 2025We have had a great experience at this daycare. My son went from age 2.5-3 and my daughter has been going since 6 months old (now 19 months). The staff is consistent, so kind, and wonderful with my kids. They provide pictures periodically and send home activities they’ve done at daycare. My kids are happy to go each day and I can tell they are well cared for and happy.
Sara TuffsMar 24, 2025My son went here from 16 months until 3 years and 3 months. He loved it. The teachers, caretakers, and staff are lovely. I got so many wonderful pictures of him and so many great art projects. They were amazing at teaching him his basics like body parts, ABCs, 123s, signs, and were great at reinforcing potty training with him. If I ever have another child I would without hesitation take my child here.
Mary Lou Lopez (Pez)Sep 19, 2024The children are well cared for. Staff still have a lot of consideration for the well being of the kids. And connect with them in a professional healthy manner. The staff really do try their best like good hearted humans. My daughter misses children world day care when she doesn't go. So shes always happy to go
C CJul 5, 2024Very clean facility with attentive teachers. Many of the staff speak more than one language (English, Spanish, and Chinese) so I feel confident in sending my kids there. Pick up is also very easy, they are very thorough in insuring kids go to only their assigned caretakers. My kids favorites offered snacks are the mandarins and pretzels. They are also doing a really great job of Sanitization, especially with scare of COVID-19. Finally no COVID cases from this daycare, my kids come back tired in a good way!
jessica aburtoJan 17, 2021I took my 3 boys recently and a week later my 4 year old had a mark on his face. I asked what happened & he said his teacher smacked him in the face. I talked to the supervisor there & she said she didn't think so & that I should take my son to a daycare where they have cameras!! My 7 year old had a very bad experience with them as well. He was having some trouble with all this virtual schooling going on & right away the director said she couldn't be giving him that kind of attention (very unprofessional the way she said it to me) & would always mention how she thought he didn't do something right but never mentioned one thing on what he was actually doing good. She didn't give him a chance & definitely they all have zero patience for kids there (Warning this is for the 3575 S Archer Ave!) But the same supervisor works most of the time in this location. She also mentioned that my son was spoiled (she had zero respect for how she talked about my children to me). I honestly DO NOT reccomend this take care at all.
